Hi there,
its been a while since i posted on here, our 3 snakes are getting big now :)
We have just moved Vader and Pablo into big boy vivs, my only question is about george, now we have bought a viv in readiness of him getting bigger, when would be the best time for him to move into it?
Huff my partner wanted to just put him in it with a few more hides but i was worried it might spook him....what do you think we should do?

Thanks guys for the advice, i guess we are just overly cautious...we only literally moved our 16 month corn up

Apollo wasn't much bigger than that when he moved up to his 'big boy viv'. He has been absolutely fine, seems to love the extra things to explore actually. I would do as other people have suggested and put loads of hides, lots of fake plants and lots of cover in it so that it doesn't seem like a scary open space and give him a try. If he is stressed by it and refuses to eat or his behaviour changes drastically, then put him back into his RUB.

ok, might risk it then, i have posted a pic in the photo section of our current set up with george in his rub atm

He should be ok at that age/size, just do as your partner said and put in plenty of cover and hides in.

Nagini is 4 months and he is in a 3ft viv and loves it! I think all snakes are different and will react different.

well he's about 9-10 months and is 54cm long

How old/big is he?
